After playing on sky poker for a while,i decided to take a break because of so many bad beats and what i believe so many "bingo players" playing now.So after about a fortnight,i thought i would go see how the deep stack crew were doin,missed em all and fancied a banter and game with them.So i Regd. for the 8.15 d/s,my first game on sky for 2 weeks.And sure enough sky is not for me any longer(no bad reflection on sky poker itself)....Blind levels have only increased to 30/60 when i get A-A as hole cards,standard 5xBB raise,one caller(bit of a fish)..flop come Q high on a rainbow board......."fish" bets 460.........i raise all-in fish calls showing Q-3 off...and of course the river shows a 3...lol,so think i will take my cash to the local bingo hall where these people should be.....

    on the river he was a 10% chance to win the hand.. keep at it and you will win 90% of the time.. a percentage most people would be happy with..

    if you could see the cards would you want the q - 3 to call you pre flop??? yes you would. just got unlucky

    the majority of every sites players are "poor to very poor",if these mass of players lose as often as their standard suggests they would quit poker very quickly and pursue other forms of gambling,this of course would be a huge dent in a sites earnings and thus they need "assistance" to remain on the site and keep playing and depositing every now and then,bottom line....poor players run significantly better than they should -to keep them playing.

    couldn't disagree more  - just the case that you remember getting unlucky but forget when the luck swings your way. How does sky poker gain from having poor quality players - they do not take the benefit - the other players on the site do.

    i've already explained why sites try to keep poor players on their sites....the mass of poor players on every site are huge rake earners for the sites,if these players lose as often as their lack of skills suggests  they would soon leave and the site loses big time(rake lost/tourney fees lost/lack of future deposits)

    I know you've explained it, but you're making just another "it's rigged" post, which it isn't - sorry I don't buy it
